1989 Masters Tournament Results

The 1989 Masters was the 53rd edition of this major championship, and the site of Nick Faldo's first Masters win.

Winner: Nick Faldo, 283

Where it was played: Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia

Tournament dates: April 6-9, 1989

Leader after first round: Lee Trevino, 67

Leader after second round: Lee Trevino and Nick Faldo, 141

Leader after third round: Ben Crenshaw, 213

Notable Notes: Scott Hoch should have won the 1989 Masters. On the first playoff hole against Nick Faldo, Hoch had a 2-foot putt for the win. Somehow, he missed it. That gave Faldo the opening he needed, and on the second playoff hole Faldo won it with a birdie. It was the first of Faldo's three Masters victories. ... 49-year-old Lee Trevino was the surprise first-round leader, and shared the Round 2 lead, but carded an 81 in Round 3.
